Mazuri Rat & Mouse Food provides your furry friend with the necessary nutrients he needs for tons of playtime fun. The vegetable-based formula is made with vitamin E, flaxseed and even dried yucca schidigera, an extract known to reduce stool and urine odor. Packed with natural vitamins and minerals, this highly nutritious food is designed to be a complete diet for either your breeding or non-breeding pet. Whether you’re feeding your rat companion or petite-size mouse pal, this pellet-form food is easy to administer and even helps minimize waste.
Feed free choice to rats and mice, along with plenty of fresh clean water. Supplemental food items (grasses, vegetables, fruits, and seeds) may be provided, but should not make up more than 20% of the diet. Diets containing higher amounts of fruits, seeds, and other high calorie treats may predispose animals to obesity and other nutritional health disorders. The amount of food consumed will vary due to size of the animal and life stage.
Rats: Adult rats generally consume 16 - 25 grams of feed per day (approx. 4 to 6 pellets)
Mice: Adult mice generally consume 4 - 5 grams of feed per day (approx. 1 to 2 pellets)
Thoroughly wash feeding and watering bowls on a regular basis. It is always a good practice to wash hands thoroughly after feeding and/or handling pets. This diet is not for human consumption.

About Mazuri
Mazuri means “good” in Swahili, and they believe that good nutrition comes out of good scientific curiosity. They’ve been making exotic pet foods since 1989, and whether your uncommon pet walks, crawls, flies or swims, Mazuri has a food made just for him. Every formula they make is artificial color-free, FSSC 2000-certified and manufactured in the USA according to strict FDA requirements.
The formula is a complete diet that is specially formulated to meet the nutritional requirements of rats and mice. However, hamsters and gerbils can be fed this free of choice.
On average how long will this bag last 2 adult male rats?
Answer by • Aug 17, 2018
The average adult rat eats approximately 15-30 grams per day. This bag would last between 15-30 days depending on your individual pets feeding habits.
Is this food nutritionally complete for other rodents like squirrels?
Answer by • Dec 05, 2019
This formula is nutritionally complete for small wildlife, including squirrels.
approximately how many gallons of food would be in the 25 lb bag?
Answer by • Feb 15, 2021
There is approximately 5000 pellets in the 25 pound bag.
For those of you out there with crushed bags. I hope you contacted Chewy. They have amazing customer service.
I used to have to drive an hour for #50 pound bags. There is always dust at the bottom usually 2-4 cups. Some people bake treats with it or use it to feed dubia roaches if you have bearded dragons, leopard geckos etc. I was delighted when we cut way down on rodents only need the #25 which can be shipped! There is nothing better out there for mice and rats. I tried the 9F (3% more fat than the standard 6%). It caused some of my show mice to get abscesses. There is no food I trust more having used it for over a decade!

Rats did not approve…
I have read so many good reviews on this food and was only disappointed when my rats REFUSED to eat this.
They prefer Oxbow. They did not want anything to do with this food. This food is also very very very DUSTY and crumbly!
So be careful when feeding your rats.
Definitely will not be ordering this again and will be sticking with Oxbow.

One of the best
I've had rats for about 4 years now and I'm up to nine boys. Mazuri (and oxbow) are the two brands that breeders recommend. I just switched to Mazuri from oxbow for a change for my boys. These pellets are large so feed less to maintain weight. My boys love it.

Rats seem to like it
Bigger than what we are used to so was not sure if my boys would eat it. Thus far they are eating it without any qualms. NO issues with the switch and all are as active and bright as always.

Works great for mice, hamsters, and gerbils!
Primarily bought for my mice, as I currently have 15, but also used for my four hamsters (all different species), and now my two gerbils. Palatable to all of them and reliable among keepers of all species, despite being marketed primarily for rats/mice. Interestingly it isn't always liked by rats, but then they're prone to getting picky and preferring high sugar!
Bought the 20lb bag as it's much cheaper than other brands in this size (labs and zoos use this brand so go figure) and honestly given my critter collection, I'm gonna use that much this year.
No issues with the bag, I'm used to the smell and opening style from dealing with livestock feed. I'm sure there's tons of dust at the bottom, but I haven't gotten there yet and I'll probably end up making "cookies" or something with it once I do LOL.

Great food!
This food has been great for my pet rats, mice, and even hamsters. I love the option of the 25 lb bag for a more economical price when feeding so many small animals and even better that Chewy ships it right to my door!
